yea as long as the springs are friction fit you won't get any damaging spring harmonics running em that far from bind.

Not that a stock cam is hard on springs but I would consider a cheap set of LT4 springs for the meantime instead of putting miles on the springs meant for a lot more cam.

Yes, i understand you point of view, but i will probably only put 3k miles on them over the summmer. I dont see that being to big of a deal.
